I'm 51. My hair is long like when I was young. I have gray hair from my roots to the ends. That's some long gray hairs! My hair is actually salt and pepper now. I tell people, I earned everyone of the grays. I've never tryed to cover them. I'm proud of them.If I live as long as my GGM (90) it will be snowy white. I have her Irish curls when It's cut short.
